New York City is well known for a variety of things, whether it’s the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park, Times Square, food, diverse cultures, museums and more. There are lots of remarkable places to explore and spend time with family, friends, or individually. In this post, I’ll specifically focus on The Whitney Museum of American Art and why you should stop by Simo’s Pizza Restaurant for a quick lunch afterwards!
The Whitney Museum of American Art is a museum that is both outstanding and modern looking from the outside. And while indoors there’s a great number of works to tour; ranging from a collection of paintings, photographs, sculptures, prints, for instance. Many of the works are very well known artists such as Edward Hopper, Georgia O’ Keeffe, George Bellows and the list goes on. A museum with the focus of collecting and dedicating works of the 20th and 21st century American artists. What’s more? There’s always an exhibition going on, so do take the opportunity to explore one. You know, the fun of exhibits is that there is something new to expect for every visit to the Whitney. Moreover, the exterior spaces of the Whitney’s balconies allow for a marvelous experience of NYC’s atmospheric views! You’ll be amazed, indeed. Now keep in mind, to get the most out of a visit to the Whitney Museum you should consider searching online to their website for ongoing exhibitions to your interest, view collections of works you may come across to, and last but not least do purchase an admission ticket in advance as it can get busy depending on certain times. Maybe it’s best to plan a visit during a weekday.
Moving on, after a good day of a visit to the museum and now you, your friends, or family are hungry! Well, no worries.
